Repeat. With Nate. Climbed in about 6 or 7 hours as 9 (or maybe 11? We lost count.) pitches at a very casual pace. Still a great scramble with some really cool exposed climbing interspersed with a lot of scrambly bits. Would probably have worked well to simul with 30 m of rope between us, but it was nice to take our time on it.

Apparently I'd been on this before. It seemed vaguely familiar but I wasn't sure. Great climbing. Solid for the grade, especially in the hot sun. Putting draws up for Kristin so she could climb this as the last of her 32 birthday pitches. Was only about pitch 15 for me and I was feeling a bit weary. Great effort by Kristin to do 32 routes in a day!

The first of the Trinity for me. Great adventure. Somehow felt much bigger than the 4 pitches that it is. An excellent route for connoisseurs of thrutch. Bloody hard work for those like us who are not well schooled in the art of the wide stuff. We brought two #4 and two #5 camalots, and used them a lot. Pulled on the gear a couple of times to get through some wet slimy sections. Started climbing around lunchtime after walking up but all the slow shuffling and some shenanigans with belays in the wrong spots ate up a lot of time. Got to enjoy an awesome light show while I was sitting at the belay at the top of the third pitch. There was a bit of smoke in the air over the central plateau and the distant peaks showing through the haze in the late afternoon light were amazing. When the sun dropped a bit lower the Fingal valley gradually filled with cloud and the shadow of the mountain was cast against it. We topped out just on dark, just in time to see an incredible orange full moon rising through the smoke haze above a sea of cloud. Wandered around the scree in the moonlight for a while before eventually finding the bivi spot at Tranquil tarn. Very happy to have scored dead calm, clear, warm conditions in late March.

Good to tick this off the to do list. Deliberately took it slowly to make the most of the solo experience. Rapped in late on Tuesday and bivied on Fuhrer ledge. Climbed to big grassy next day. Pitch 3 was harder than I remembered. Only climbed to the roof the next day after a late start then spent the afternoon on the portaledge. Had a large bird, either a peregrine or an owl, come and perch on the ledge suspension strap during the night. Woke up to see a feathery butt directly above my face. Climbed to the Gledhill bivi and fixed the fang pitch next day, then bivied at Gledhill. Climbed to top Saturday. Bloody hard work but satisfying.

Holy crap the middle pitch of this is amazing. Unfortunately the crag was quite wet. We skipped the approach pitch. Ultra classic 2nd pitch. Endless steep perfect hand crack forvever. Didn't do it very good style though. Ended up making a semi hanging belay at about 30m when I realized I was going to run out of gear. Second half of the pitch was very wet. Pulling the steep crux with both hands and both feet covered in wet slime wasn't going to happen. Pulled through on the gear. Rapped sideways from the belay ledge to get back to our fixed rope and jumared out to avoid the dripping wet and vegetated upper section.
